Roberto De Zerbi, Ralf Rangnick, Hansi Flick ... The list of FC Bayern's dream coach candidates is long. However, according to the German newspaper "Bild", one name in particular stands out for sporting director Max Eberl: Julian Nagelsmann. 

"Bayern is looking for a coach, not Max Eberl is looking for a coach. There are simply responsibilities as to who is looking for the coach, and that is usually the sport," Eberl recently clarified - even though one of his main tasks is to take care of staffing at the club. In this respect, appointing a new coach is also part of his job, as Thomas Tuchel will be leaving Munich in the summer.

Dependent on the EURO
According to the tabloid report, the former Bayern youth player is a big fan of Nagelsmann and would like to sign him for the coming season. However, the 36-year-old already has a job as coach of the German national team. Whether that remains the case beyond the summer will probably depend on the team's performance at the European Championship on home soil.

Should the DFB team disappoint, Nagelmann's return to the Allianz Arena would probably not be so unrealistic ...
